A collection of tools for cryptominers analysis. Part of the Cryptominers Anatomy blog series by Maor Dahan.
In the first blog there is a candidate table that was generated using this tool. The table holds the most relevant crypto coins that attacker could use for its cryptomining malware. They are sorted by the profitability of mining them using a formula that considered its reward per block mining and the network hashrate which predict the chances of wining the block mining race respective to the botnet size and computing power.
Here is an example of it's output where the most relevant coins are both privacy and ASIC resistant ones.
